Congratulations to The Lavaca Golden Arrows Marching Band on a job well done. The Golden Arrows Marching Band took the field at Northside High School for the Region Marching contest, at brought home some bling. The band is under the direction of Mr. Logan Dooly and Tyler Huntington; the Color Guard is coordinated by Jessica White. The Leadership that this team has provided has created a resurgence in the band program. The band is now 54 members strong which allows for every section of a marching band to be represented.

This years show is called “British Invasion” and features music from 1960’s British bands.The band stayed pretty traditional in terms of it’s marching an playing. Mr. Dooly said, “our goal was not only instrumentation, rhythms and tuning, but also unison and technique. This years group has worked very hard and everyone is being brought up to the same standard. They have done awesome helping one another out and catching the freshman up to exude those fundamentals.”

It is obvious that Mr. Dooly is very proud of this Golden Arrow band, as he should be. The band performed very well at the Region Marching Contest. They received straight 2’s and brought home a division two trophy. This band is having fun and growing musically as well as in numbers.
It is exciting to see the Lavaca Golden Arrow Band continue to grow. It wont be long until they are once again the band that is “often imitated but never duplicated.”
